51. Video games teach
children what computers
are beginning to teach
adults--that some forms of
learning are fast-paced,
immensely compelling,
and rewarding.
- Seymour Papert
52. The fact that they are
enormously demanding of
one's time and require new
ways of thinking remains a
small price to pay (and is
perhaps even an
advantage) to be vaulted
into the future.
- Seymour Papert
53. Not surprisingly,
by comparison school strikes
many young people as
slow, boring, and frankly
out of touch.

“Gifted
means
you
have
abilities
to
do
stuff
others
may
not
be
able
to
do,
even
if
they
are
not
easy.
This
tree
is
growing
in
the
shade
under
a
step….that’s
not
easy.”
91. “As
a
gifted
learner
I
feel
that
I
am
different;
I
am
a
leader;
and
I
am
powerful!”
92. “Giftedness
is
you
are
special
and
stand
out
from
others
because
of
your
talent.”
Riley
Adamski,
5thGrade
93. “We
all
have
an
impact
on
the
world.
Although
we’re
small,
someday
we
will
do
something
great.
It
means
to
be
inspiring,
creative,
helpful,
and
smart.
Although
being
gifted
has
its
problems,
Being
gifted
is
very
special.”
Daphne
Meyer,
6th
Grade
94. “We
are
all
different.
Everyone
has
different
abilities;
some
people
may
enjoy
learning.
Being
gifted
is
being
yourself.”
Leia
Gardner,
6th
Grade
96. “Giftedness
is
being
different
in
your
own
way
and
to
capture
beautiful
moments
in
life
for
something
cool.
Then
your
differences
will
shine!”
Grace
Eberenz,
6th
Grade
97. “Giftedness
means
you
can
be
talented
in
some
things
but
not
at
others;
you
swing
back
and
forth
at
the
things
you
are
good
at
and
the
things
you
are
not.”
Jordan
Anderson,

is
like
flying
in

free

122. “There is no such
thing as a new idea.
It is impossible.
We simply take a lot
of old ideas and put
them into a sort of
mental kaleidoscope.
We give them a turn
and they make new
and curious
combinations.”

133. Creativity is just
connecting things.
When you ask creative people
how they did something, they
feel a little guilty because they
didn’t really do it, they just saw
something. It seemed obvious
to them after a while.
That’s because they were able
to connect experiences they’ve
SYNTHESIZE
had and
new things.
- Steve Jobs, 1995
160. Summary
The pigs will be space pilots creating the
first human settlements on Mars.
Their structures will be threatened by their
own malfunctioning robot.
However, the robot is also their only hope
of returning home.
161. Non-Examples
It’s like The Three Little Pigs, but they’re
dogs.
Instead of a brick house, it’s made of
stone.
The pigs will live in a desert!
163. How do the
changes make
the story better?
9. Analyze how two or more texts address
similar themes or topics in order to build
knowledge or to compare the approaches
the authors take.
164. Persuasion
Three Martians is a suspenseful, sci-fi
take on The Three Little Pigs. It takes the
classic story and retells it for an older
audience.
There is real danger for the characters as
they try to stop the robot while keeping it
working so they can return to earth.
165. Non-Examples
It will be better.
You will like it since it’s funnier.
This version will have lots of interesting
things.

have the option
of turning away
from the future.
No one gets to
vote on whether
technology is
going to change
our lives.”

“The world is moving at a tremendous rate. No one knows where.
We must prepare our children, not for the world of the past,
not for our world, but for their world, the world of the future.”
— John Dewey
T
he admonition that we should be preparing our
students for the 21st century is everywhere. There
are numerous books, blogs, and content resources
promoting and espousing the virtues of 21st century learning. If one examines the titles and descriptions of
presentations at any gifted or general education conference,
reference to 21st century learning is prevalent. Most of us
in gifted education have regularly advocated for teaching
trace their origins back at least 30 years. In 1983, the National Science Board Commission on Precollege Education
in Mathematics, Science and Technology published a report
entitled, Educating Americans for the 21st Century: A Plan
of Action for Improving Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education for All American Elementary and Secondary
Students So that their Achievement is the Best in the World
